PUIhoteles vs ConectaPUI: an honest comparison
Both options connect you to the federal PUI — ConectaPUI does that well. The difference is price and scope: PUIhoteles costs less ($930/mo + $4,350 setup, versus $950/mo + $6,500 initial connection), and it also captures guest identity, keeps your exportable registry and runs connected to R2 OS in real time. Here is the comparison, without putting anyone down.
Fairness first: what ConectaPUI does well
ConectaPUI is a PUI connector: it lets you link your system or upload the information (for example, via Excel) and send it to the federal platform. For a hotel that already has its operating system sorted and only needs the connection piece, it does its job. We are not going to invent flaws it does not have.
The difference is not that one “works” and the other does not. It is that ConectaPUI solves only the connection, while PUIhoteles solves the connection plus identity capture, the registry and real-time integration with R2 OS. And it does so for a lower monthly fee and with a clearer setup, without an inflated initial connection charge.
Price head to head
Same goal —being compliant with PUI— at a different cost. ConectaPUI prices verified publicly.
PUIhoteles monthly
$930 MXN per month (+ VAT), no lock-in.
ConectaPUI monthly
$950 MXN per month (+ VAT). Slightly more expensive each month.
PUIhoteles setup
$4,350 MXN one-time (+ VAT): connection, capture and go-live.
ConectaPUI initial connection
$6,500 MXN (+ VAT) initial connection. That is $2,150 MXN more than the PUIhoteles setup.
No lock-in
PUIhoteles does not tie you to fixed-term contracts.
Result at start
You start cheaper with PUIhoteles, both at launch and every month.
The deeper difference: connector vs connector + system
Both connect to PUI. Only one captures identity and lives in your operation.
Identity capture included
PUIhoteles records CURP, national ID, passport and migratory form at check-in. ConectaPUI expects you to already have that data in your system or a spreadsheet.
Exportable registry and dashboard
PUIhoteles keeps your registry up to date, audit-ready, with a compliance dashboard. A pure connector leaves the registry on your side.
Connected to R2 OS in real time
PUIhoteles lives inside the R2 ecosystem: what happens at the front desk is reflected instantly. An external connector does not touch your operation.
What if I want my whole hotel in one system?
PUIhoteles is a standalone product: you can sign up for it just for the PUI piece, even if your hotel system is a different one. But if what you want is to run everything —bookings, front desk, payments, pricing, website— on a single platform, PUI is included within R2 OS as part of the complete package.
That is an advantage a pure connector cannot offer: with ConectaPUI you will always still need your own separate hotel system. With the R2 ecosystem everything is in one place. You choose: PUI only with PUIhoteles, or the whole hotel with R2 OS and PUI included.
